T0 aZZ whom it may concern:

zen of Poland, residing at 1462 Reynolds St, Baltimore, State ofMaryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in HallUtensils, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has as its object the provision of a device for receivingumbrellas, canes and the like so that the same are supported verticallywithin a space.

A further object is to provide a pan for draining umbrellas, and,

A still further object is to provide means whereby the device may bedismounted, permitting the drainage cup or pan to be removed at anydesired time.

These and other like objects are attained by the novel construction andcombination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanyingdrawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which-Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 1-1 of Fig. 3through the center of a hall utensil made in accordance with theinvention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view of the same,and

Fig. 3 is a top plan view showing the assembled structure.

Referring to the drawings in detail, a cylinder 10 is shown toconstitute the base of the apparatus, the same being provided with animperforate bottom 11, supported upon a plurality of feet 12, thecylinder having at its open top a number of inwardly extending flangedelements 1 1, while therebelow is an inner band or ring 15, extendinginterj acent to the walls 10.

Resting upon the ring 15, is the outturned edge 16 of a concave cup 17,notched at the edges so it can be removed or replaced with Specificationof Letters Patent. I 7, Patented Aug, 3, 192( Application filed June 18,19195 SeriaINo. 305,043. I

tend upward from the plate 18 through the tube, the rod 22 having set inits lower end a transverse pin 24, adapted to pass through the lateralrecesses 21, while the rod itself is engaged in the central opening 20.

Formed with the rod 22 is a head 25, abutting against which are thecoils of a spring 26, its lower end resting in the bottom of a'recess27, formed in the upper end of the tube 23, the efliect of thespring being to raise the rod 22 within the tube.

Also extending outward from the central opening 20, are slots 28 whichthe pin 24 may engage by properly manipulating the handle 25 so that thetube 23 may be rigidly ailixed to the upper surface of the plate 18.

Engaged with the exterior of the tube 23 are a plurality of frameelements 29, the same radiating outward and being secured to a circularring 30, other similar frame elements 31, being formed with inturnedterminals 82, adapted to engage with the upper end of the cylinder 10 soas to steady and support the tube and rod inclosed therein. The outerframe elements 29 and 31 are supported in place by a plurality of curvedangularly disposed elements 33 and 34 as best shown in Fig. 1.

From the foregoing it will be seen that whenever it may be desired toempty the contents of the cup 17 the same may be removed by properlymanipulating the knob 25, releasing the rod 22 from the plate 18 so thatthe entire superstructure may be removed, whereupon by partiallyrotating the plate 18 it may be raised and the pan 17 removed in anobvious manner.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a' device of the class described, the combination with acylindrical base having imperforate walls, and means for supporting saidbase, of a perforate plate removably engaged in the upper portion ofsaid base, a pan disposed therebelow, means for supporting said panwithin said base, a rod removably engageable within said plate, a tubesurrounding said rod, spring actuated means for holding said spring rodin a raised position, and a plurality of brace elements engaged withsaid tube, said brace elements being engageable with the marginal edgeof said base.

2. In a device of the class described, the combination with acylindrical base, an

angular ring set therein, a cup adapted to rest upon said ring, a platedisposable over said cup and means for confining said plate Within saidbase, of a rod having means in its lower end for removably engaging witha central aperture formed in said plate, a 7

tube surrounding said rod, means for nor mally holding said rod inengagement with signature.
